As a homeowner in Pennsylvania, you understand the significance of keeping your energy expenses in check. Unfortunately, with electricity rates expected to increase by as much as 38% and up to 50% in some cases, this can be a challenging task. However, there’s a straightforward solution that can assist you in saving money and decreasing your reliance on the grid: solar energy. With the cost of solar panels decreasing and an abundance of incentives and rebates available, transitioning to solar has never been more accessible or cost-effective. Here are six reasons to consider going solar in Pennsylvania:

• 
  Enjoy Cost Savings: By producing your own clean energy, you can reduce your reliance on the grid and save money on your electricity bills. With electricity rates in Pennsylvania projected to surge up to 50% in some cases, transitioning to solar energy can be a wise investment for long-term savings.
  
• 
  Take Advantage of Incentives: Pennsylvania provides tax credits, rebates, and grants that can substantially decrease the initial costs of transitioning to solar. For instance, the state’s Solar Energy Program extends financial support for residential solar panel installation. Additionally, the federal government offers a 30% tax credit for solar panel installation.
  
• Generate Income through SRECs: Pennsylvania’s Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) program provides homeowners with the chance to earn income from their solar energy production. Homeowners can obtain one SREC for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar electricity they produce, which can be sold on the open market to utilities and other entities that aim to fulfill their renewable energy goals.
• 
  Boost Your Property’s Value: Properties equipped with solar panels have a higher resale value, which can enhance the value of your home. If you intend to sell your home in the future, you can recuperate some or all of your solar investment while also appealing to buyers who prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency.
  
• 
  Prepare for the Future: As we shift towards a low-carbon economy, electricity prices are expected to increase further. By investing in solar energy today, you can prepare for these changes and shield yourself against future energy expenses. Solar power allows you to take charge of your energy future and experience increased energy independence.
  
• Reduce Carbon Footprint: Solar energy is clean and renewable, making it a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to mitigating climate change.

For Pennsylvania homeowners, going solar in 2023 offers a range of benefits that are hard to ignore. From saving money and reducing your carbon footprint to taking advantage of incentives and earning income with SRECs, investing in solar is a smart choice. With electricity rates projected to rise in the state, now is the perfect time to switch to solar and enjoy long-term savings and energy independence.

Even after all of the descriptions I’ve read, links I’ve clicked on, and groups I’ve joined on the subject, this whole OpenStreetMap thing still makes absolutely NO SENSE to me whatsoever. What is the objective? I want to be contributing to the greater good of SOMETHING, be it the Internet, Google maps, GPS, or whatever else. Perhaps the kramdown thing tossed in here is what’s further complicating everything for me, I don’t know. I’ll devote another hour of my energy, but if something doesn’t click by then, I’m opting out.

amenity=hitching_post
Short and easy, 214 uses.

tourism=trail_riding_rest
Well, it may contain one or more hitching posts. 1 use. That’ll be the person who wrote it up for the wiki and linked it about for good visibility. Ooh, and it’s rendered on the trail riding map. Perhaps it was made because other resting places are possible, so this becomes a unifying tag to look for if you are looking for a place to rest your horse? Much like a tourism=trail_riding_station seems to be a unifying tag to put on all the different things you can overnight your horse in? (1339 uses for that one, it’s doing a better job. Oh, except that I looked at how it was actually being used and some of it was for staging locations where overnighting would be illegal. So not all correct uses. And I can definitely see where the confusion comes from.) Although if these things are meant to be a unifying device, used in addition to the more specific tags, it probably ought to say that on the wiki page. Is that even how tags are meant to be used? I certainly see the utility.

amenity=animal_hitch
animal_hitch=ring/rail/post
horse=yes
er…
mule=yes
donkey=yes
llama=yes
Perhaps you should just be assuming your zebra/donkey cross or whatever other exotic bit of stock you’ve got =yes? Except if you’re in big horn sheep country, it very well might be that goat=no.
104 uses for all animals, but it isn’t popular enough to get combination details. For the type tag, there are 83 rings and 7 rails, but no posts at all. Nope, the people don’t want it for hitching posts. Well, except for the sorts who get particular about the post being horizontal between two other posts, AKA a rail. Or particular about there being a ring on the post, but the example dog_hitch (not kidding) is also a ring.
Oh, there’s also 2 uses of amenity=horse_hitch.

amenity=horse_parking
32 uses although this one got voted on and rejected. However, there was a lovely little wiki page for a moment that included a type of parking that was box, which is to say, a corral as often mapped on USFS maps. I liked it just for that. Oh, I suppose the animal_hitch can be similarly done even though it is a little more than a hitch. (Is it, though? Is it really?) I marked a bunch as trail_riding_stations a while ago, but see above that this may be intended as much more general. They need more tags to truly be marked.

---

So…
I was marking the picnic table across the wide trail from the hitching post and the map board next to it, so I decided to mark the hitching post too. How could I not when I know all these methods and I know it is there? And which method would I choose? Well, it turned out to be amenity=hitching_post, one and done.

---

But maybe it should be that animal_hitch that wins out. It feels so awkward at first, but I also like the hierarchical nature of it. (That’s another reason why the horse_parking was just a little bit cool.) (Also, hierarchical sorts of things naturally require more than one tag in total animosity with the desire to just use one tag and be done.)

I’ve been thinking about adding a man_made=corral to those trail_riding_stations I marked. There’s a few uses of it, especially by one user in New Mexico. (More than all the amenity=hitching_post.) My only difficulty is that there’s two very distinct structures that get marked as corrals on USFS maps. The one to corral herd animals in when gathering them up seems like the more natural corral. Then again, the places that actually get a corral place name are more commonly these overnighting spots for horses (and other riding/packing stock). But not exclusively. Really, USFS sees no difference between these two things if you take them by their maps.

Maybe I should be trying to extend this apparently more winning amenity=animal_hitch with the animal_hitch=box that was suggested as a type of horse parking. And while I say more winning, the amenity=hitching_post still has more than twice as many uses. For a total just over 200! Clearly no one really cares.

• Rivers and lakes may move 10 meters in 5 years.
• When you map a river, treat it like low-poly art.
• Think of the next mapper 3 years from now. No 200 point rivers. No holding space bar.

Simple rivers enable simple change.

Participation in the launching Enugu mapthon center and the mapping Abi local government in Cross River Nigeria

Today was a great day. I learnt how to map out a location and I contributed by mapping out some buildings and some pathways. I know I’m a a beginner in this but I find it surprisingly fun and interesting. I mapped out Abi Local government area and I’m happy.

I’ll mostly be fixing railroads on OSM, like improving alignment of train tracks so they’re better aligned with those shown in aerial imagery. Most railroads on OSM were imported from TIGER and may not align very well with tracks shown in aerial imagery because most TIGER roads and rail lines were mainly used for drawing census boundaries and not for drawing actual alignments of roads and train tracks. I fixed a few rail lines by adjusting the train track nodes and adding new nodes to the train track ways so they’re better aligned with aerial imagery.
